One suggestion I have for this app is to include more multicultural people in the pictures. My students are not all one race, but the majority of the pictures I have seen lately depict Caucasian people only. If that was updated, I would consider giving 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Flawed *2016-02-24, version 1.7* There are aspects of this app that I like very much, however I think the difference between the 3 answers should be less subtle or there should be an easier level to choose between 2 possible answers that are more distinct. My students are easily frustrated and discouraged by making so many errors and don't understand why the answer was "wrong". Better to have more concrete differences and the slp can explain more easily why one answer was better than another. ### 5/5 — Interactive with Great Feedback *2015-06-25, version 1.7* I use this in speech language therapy with great success. Features include sharing, recording options, content and level options and an archive to demonstrate growth. My students love it. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-05-07, version 1.7* I love this app! It's amazing- getting to hear my most severely autistic clients play back their voices in a connected conversation. GREAT App! ### 5/5 — Mobile Education is awesome!!! *2013-12-12, version 1.5* Conversation Builder is by far on of the best apps out there for child who have trouble with social skills. It helps them to figure out how to talk to other children and that goes a long way to helping them overcome social anxiety. This is great for children who have mild Autism or Asperger's. ### 5/5 — Must have *2013-12-05, version 1.5* Wow! Beautiful image scenes that promote conversation in a wide variety of settings. Voice recording option and ability to have conversation with another user. Another amazing app by mobile education store! ### 3/5 — Limited Starter *2013-09-03, version 1.5* I used this with students with significant needs. It was easy to use. It is a bit limited for a $20 app. Leaves the kids wanting more. Would be nice if it had a little more to it. ### 5/5 — One of the best *2013-08-20, version 1.5* The Builder apps are awesome and this one does not disappoint. All of my kids love working on their convo skills with this app. I love the various settings such as peer, student or random initiation and I really like that we can show the history of the convo. I have used this with kids as young as 8 and as old as 16 with great success for all of them. Being able to save each completed convo is great. I have reviewed them with the kids as well as their parents. I would love to see this app have the answer choices read to you like in the teen version. ### 5/5 — Keep it interesting *2013-08-15, version 1.5* Interesting photos full of life and color keep my son interested. Differnt modes to gear towards what your child is most interested in. Multiple choices help those that aren't quite sure and helps build confidence. Gives achievement awards as well, great postive feedback. A+ ### 4/5 — A real help *2013-08-12, version 1.5* A great app to help a child learn how to carry on a conversation or start a conversation. Social skills are so important. My kids liked recording their part of the conversation and playing it back. One thing they did ask if the got a response wrong was "why". I would like to see an explanation added to the program. You can also record a group having a conversation which they really liked as well.
